Academic Integrity

All work in CS 116 is to be done individually. The penalty
for plagiarism is an assigned mark of zero on the assignment question or
test and a deduction of 5% from the final course grade,
consistent with School of Computer Science and Faculty of
Mathematics policy. In addition, a letter detailing the offense
is sent to the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, meaning
that subsequent offenses will carry more severe penalties, up to
suspension or expulsion. To avoid inadvertently incurring this
penalty, you should discuss assignment issues with other
students only in a very broad and high-level fashion. Do not
take notes during such discussions, and avoid looking at anyone
else's code, on screen or on paper. If you find yourself stuck,
contact an ISA or instructor for help, instead of getting the
solution from someone else. When trying to deal with
difficulties, do not consult books other than the textbook, or
any Web sources, unless explicitly authorized to do so.

MOSS

MOSS (Measure of Software Similarities) is used in this course as a
means of comparing students’ assignments to ensure academic integrity.
